Their edit history
. They notably made references to the "Villain Army" and "Paper Jam 2" on their edit for the YMMV page for Chuggaaconroy.
Did you send any notifiers? Natter or custom.
"Villain Army" was the pet project of one mattjanga, who is still currently suspended for creating the original page at UsefulNotes.Villain Army before it got moved to Darth Wiki. an IP check might be in order.
So should the Pandering entry be cut as it hinges on referencing nonexistent works/creators?
And is the meme widespread enough to count?
mattjanga was bounced for attempted ban evasion. This account is eerily similar. It's not conclusive, but close enough for action, I think.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
^Probably cut everything, but at this point I'm willing to wait until a mod confirms ban evasion so they don't have a chance to mess anything up immediately after it's fixed.

I have banned this additional account. Proceed.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
given that Villain Army was created and edited solely by mattjanga, with him now being a known ban evader, should the page be cut?
Well, maybe not. It does give us an easy way to spot their return, since they're the only one who'll edit it.
But I won't cry if it does get cut.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
^ Galdodon was around since December of last year and never touched the page. mentioning Villain Army on the YMMV page appears to have been their first slip-up.
Fair enough.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
found one additional link to it on YMMV.Dragon Quest XI and zapped it. page has been sent to the cutlist.
I initially brought this up in the Complaining thread, but upon further investigation of the culprit's edit history, it was deemed mod attention may be warrented.
Galdodon 99 made some weird edits to YMMV.Paper Mario The Origami King earlier today.
And
I expanded the spoiler in the second part myself, but aside from their carelessness or lack of respect for spoiling, other red flags include the memetic mutation being a triple bullet point, and frankly I've never seen that meme around as a meme at least in the relatively decent portions of the internet, and the pothole to a Darth Wiki work and reference to a game that has at no point even been hinted to being planned in the Pandering to the Base.
They also added a justifying edit to another entry, I'll just remove that myself when I'm not on mobile.
After making that initial post, it was observed that they had made edits pertaining to the Villain Army, an unpublished work on Darth Wiki, and Paper Jam 2, which as of yet has not even been teased by any development staff, on other pages as well. This whole thing feels like another episode of the Tropers Obsessed with Works that Don't Exist show.
